North Korea Fires Ballistic Missiles Into Sea

North Korea has fired two ballistic missiles into the sea, according to US and South Korean officials.A South Korean defence ministry spokesman said the missiles were fired from Sukchon in the country's southwest at 5.55am local time on Thursday.
They reportedly flew 500 miles (800km) into the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan.
One US defence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US also tracked the launch of a second ballistic missile from the same region.
The launch is the latest in a series of nuclear and rocket tests carried out by the isolated country this year which have prompted the UN and United States to impose their toughest sanctions on North Korea to date.
